Rob, Are you from Friendswood? Perhaps you told me back when Wes was killed... but that's his home town. I know the police chief there, as a result. He's an former Marine. I met the mayor, too, who didn't know how the town got its name, sadly. I'm fairly certain that the guy who killed Wes was not from Friendswood. I just returned from North Carolina, where I visited my family, with a side trip to meet Wes' crew chief, who was so badly injured by the same rocket that killed Wes that it is astonishing, miraculous, that he survived. He's doing okay now. It was a good meeting. Turns out Wes was killed by a 123mm rocket, not an RPG. His whole crew was hurt, but his crew chief was the most serious -- the most serious of his entire battalion. Now I know where it happened, what they were doing and so forth, which is good. His crew chief feels responsible -- he had just asked Wes to do something (start the vehicle) he could have done himself... thinks he should have. Very hard...
